What did Lamarck believe about evolution and why is his theory not considered correct by modern science?
Lamarck believed in the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, which suggests that organisms can pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring. However, modern science has rejected this theory because it does not align with the principles of genetics and natural selection, which are the driving forces of evolution.

Theory on the evolution of the state?
Evolution - a unifying principle of biologyThe theory of evolution states that modern organisms are descendants of ancient organisms and that modifications accumulated over time explain the apparent changes and differences among modern forms of life. This 'descent with modification' theory was central to Charles Darwin's argument of biological evolution, an idea spearheaded by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829). The idea of evolution proposes that animals and plants can change over time, and are not static forms created at once and independent of each other. Lamarck and Darwin proposed different explanation of how these changes may occur. Darwin's proposal of natural selection has proved correct and evidence from biology, earth science, and cosmology all corroborate the basic mechanism of natural selection.
The theory of use and disuse?
The theory of use and disuse of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, advocated the idea that animals acquired characteristics after using certain physical traits constantly. For example, he believed that the reason why the necks of giraffes were long was because they stretched to reach leaves on high trees. By the same logic, the lack of a human tail could be explained by the fact that humans did not use it. This idea is not correct, however, it advanced evolutionary theory!
What is Jean- Baptiste Lamark famous for?
Lamarck was one of the first scientist to suggest the idea of evolution, well, not really evolution but he recognized that organisms will change over time, will adapt to their environment and that all specie were descended from another species. He kind of had three ideas, one of them was that all animals would change/adapt towards to perfection and complexity, it like saying that they will evolve to be more complex and better. He also said that animals in their life time could alter their size, shape or some part of their organ so that they are better suited to their environment. The last is inheritance of Acquired trait, which by the way this was proven wrong, but it basically said that if you had a dog who lost it tail, then the offspring of that dog will also have no tail. Hope this answers your question :)
Was Darwin's theory of evolution correct?
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has been widely accepted in the scientific community and has provided a robust framework for understanding the diversity of life on Earth. Over time, new evidence in genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy has continued to support and refine the principles of evolutionary theory.
What A scientist makes the argument that she has found DNA evidence that shows that evolution does not exist. What would her evidence have to show for her to be correct?
For a scientist to argue that evolution does not exist based on DNA evidence, her findings would need to demonstrate that genetic mutations do not occur, that species do not share common ancestry, and that there is no evidence of natural selection influencing genetic variation over time. This would contradict the vast body of scientific evidence supporting the theory of evolution.
Was Lamarck correct?
Lamarck was correct about the connection between the environment and evolution. He saw that the organism changes based on the environment and its survival. However, Lamarck is not well-known for his advances in the field. Instead, he is known for the incorrect mechanisms for evolution that he proposed, including "use and disuse" and "inheritance of acquired characteristics." (A small note, Lamarck definitely did not have a "theory," he had hypotheses).
What is the change in hereditary features over time?
I believe that the word you are looking for is "adaptation". ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Correct
Are all scientists who believe that evolution is correct atheists?
No, some actually profess faith even despite the truth. That is fine.
What is an example of traits you would expect to inherit if Lamarck's explanation of evolution were correct?
The educational accomplishments of your father. Your mothers bridge skills. Your fathers workout musculature. Your progeny would inherit your " desire " to evolve any trait deemed necessary and the concept of use and disuse would apply to these traits.
What is the correct spelling for believe?
Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.Believe is correct.
What is the correct sequence of events leading to evolution?
vague.
How animals adapt to living in cold environments detailed anwer?
Well it's called Evolution, but some people dont believe in evolution because they believe god made everything the same way it's today, they are known as Creationists, and people who believe in evolution are called Evolutionists. Today there is a huge debate between which one is correct and which one is false. I understand the last parts have nothing to do with the question but it's important information about the subject none the less.
Which one is correct evolution or creation?
Evolution is scientific fact. Creation is religious faith masquerading as real science.

The word horses's is this correct?
No. Horses' is correct I believe.
Do Christians believe in evolution?
Christians believe the creation of GOD and evolutionists don't believe God, they accept the theory of Darwin. Actually, Christians do NOT believe in evolution. They believe that God created the Earth and everything in it, including man, which thus makes them NOT believe in evolution. You can't be a Christian and believe in evolution. People who say they are Christians but believe in evolution and not true Christians if they won't accept that God created the world and everything in. Most Christian are Liberal or Combanation Christians so do not take the Creation stories as being the way it happen just that God created the world and everything in it and the humans have a special place in creation, however can believe that evolution is the way God did it as well as the Big Bang. Also when the creation stories in Genesis were written people did not have an understanding of science and so could not understand evolution even if it was explained to them as they had no scientific understanding so a way had to be given to them to explain the most important things about Creation God did it and humans have a special place. This is why it is the way it is and God does have a guiding hand in evolution but evolution does happen the Catholic Church says you can believe in evolution but warns people not to abuse evolution to do evil like the Nazis did. Proper Christians don't believe evolution. evolution is the process of a DNA strand adding genetic information to better suit an environment However some Christians such as me believe in the process natural selection which excludes evolution. natural selection has it that in the beginning there were only several species of each animal, and then the different species mate they produce different sorts of offsprings depending on their genetic material. thus the explanation as to how every kind of animal could have one day boarded Noahs ark without causing it to explode. Some modem Christians do now believe in evolution. Perhaps the "6 days" the earth was made in was over thousands of years, and it was Gods happening along with the rest of science. It's unfair to say you are not a true Christian if you believe evolution. Creationists on the other hand are trying to bend the bible around science to suit. Which may not be correct to interprete the bible in that sense as this wasent writen to abide by the laws of science.
What theory was that organisms can modify their bodies through the use or disuse of parts and that these modifications can be passed on to their offspring?
EpigeneticsAnswerWhile epigenetics explains the alternations of phenotypes due to environmental factors or epigenetic inheritance, I believe the answer needed here has to do with evolution, specifically Lamarck's ideas.Lamarck devised the hypothesis of "use and disuse" which postulates that the extreme use of a trait or characteristic will result in it getting longer, stronger, more numerous, etc (depending on the characteristic). It also says that characteristics that are not used (disused) will get smaller, weaker, less numerous, etc and eventually disappear. While Lamarck was correct when he linked the phenotype of an organism to its environment, his proposed mechanisms of evolution (use and disuse & inheritance of acquired characteristics) are not accepted today.
